Thanks ma'am! I googled it after I saw 4-6weeks in that mamas post and became worried cos google also said 4-6weeks. Ma'am I don't have any appetite. Seeing food makes my heart fly. I only eat little food cos of my baby. Do you know of what I can take to get my appetite back?

I had this same issue for a month after I delivered. I didn't take any drugs.....i just had t force myself to eat cos my baby sef has t suck na.
Just try n get urself t eat....so that u dnt get weak from bre.astfeeding on empty stomach.

U have 2 options ;
A- Don't give drugs, try some natural remedies and wait it out...(colic stops at 3 months)

B - Give drugs and see if it works.

I didn't give any drugs cos my DD didn't have very serious colic. I just waited it out.

Congrats n kisses to ur lo

Wait it out. I swear it's very hard and if you see my post history I worried experienced mamas on this thread, the paediatrician sef hear whiin. But LO is 3 months and it's gone. I can't even say when it stopped but I just realised one morning that it had stopped
If your mind no gree gripe water/infacol are options. You can also make an infusion with cloves (kanafuru) and drink it. LO gets it through your breastmilk. All those are options I got that other mamas say worked for them but e no work for me

zaynie:



Yes as long as it is well cooked, not honey, not meat, not groundnut (except well grounded)
Meat has a lot of worms.
Honey might be contaminated.
Raw food might be contaminated too.
Fruits yes, fermented food yes, stew, well cooked fish, yes.

OK tanx...

jazzyjazz:
I called the doctor that saw me throughout my pregnancy and he said to bring him to the hospital on Monday morning so he can have a look at it. If it needs to be re-done, we will do it though I'm scared for him - the pain he will go through for someone else's mistake.

We will hold the hospital liable for it.

It will surely pass. Caring for them is an exciting experience. My ds had runny nose 2days back and i felt bad wen he started. I put myself together and said congrats on ur first cold experience. I feel for him and imagine how i feel wen i av cold. My mil just said its normal cos it will happen at some point and dis d first time. He is already showing symptoms of teething. Luckily for us, d runny nose stopped d followibg day and i just contibue keepibg him warm and that boy can scare one wt his sweating sometimes.

Semolina or semovita? The one adult take?

yes, anyone. I use semolina though

I don't really know think it has to do with stomach discomfort. Ilan had it but it stopped before he clocked 3 months

@berra
colic is stage ur baby will outgrow. well gripewater is not d cure. what it will do is just to relax the intestinal muscle for a while that is why it seems not to always work.

my ds also had it and it subsided at 3 months plus. sorry ehn is part of motherhood package.
u can try d hot water therapy.

don't worry most of them tries d leg thing and Yoruba will say they want to eat chicken leg that you should kill one for them lollllsssss.
Is nothing to worry about it doesn't last long.

sabi mamas please who have tried giving lo blended Quacker oats. I tried it for my almost 8 month ds and he drank it with joy and happiness. I want to know if we are safe to go.

Florena:


yes, anyone. I use semolina though

I was tempted to say Google it....lol

Anyways I didn't experience colic that much with my DD, but from what I hav heard and read, I fit explain small.

When ur baby cries uncontrollably for no reason....the cries could last for a long time (google says it cld b up to 3 hours).

My mum says its baby having stomach ache because of their immature digestive system and it now makes some babies cry uncontrollably. She also mentioned sometin about the healing navel contributin to it....

Honestly I don't even know how to know when baby is being colicky asides from d excessive crying episodes (which cld also be as a result of wet diapers, heat or some sorta discomfort d baby is feeling) but there was something my mum always did to my Dd every evening....She lay her face down on her chest, she said it has a way of soothing the 'stomach pain' and my DD slept peacefully in DT position....

As per what to do about colic-
Like I said earlier there 2 options-
Wait it out or give drugs (infacol, nospamin, gbomoro, gripe water).

My paed warned against giving drugs, she said a colicky baby can be stressing to cater to but we should wait it out patiently. Once they get t 3 months, it all goes away.

Nne I hope I haven't confused u join, na wetin I know I tell u o.
But meanwhile, babies differ o...so no go find colic where e no de

if I knew I wouldn't have cut it, it was fuller and thicker during pregnancy and heat added to my ordeal so I cut it. Any hair I Make now doesn't last. D one I just losed was weaveon after spending my hard earned 2k on it, e no last reach two weeks.
